Kansas City Chiefs CB Sean Smith pleaded guilty to a charge of driving under the influence in Kansas City and received two years probation. He also pleaded guilty for failing to provide proof of insurance and was fined $895. Smith could be suspended two games by the NFL for this case.

Updating a previous item, Kansas City Chiefs CB Sean Smith was arrested Monday, June 9, after crashing into a light post in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. The arresting officer said Smith "appeared confused" after the accident and "began mumbling statements that I did not understand." Smith was cited for driving his vehicle with .08 percent or more of alcohol in his blood and driving in a careless manner. He was also cited for failing to present proof of insurance.

The Kansas City Chiefs would like to clear some extra cap space in order to further improve their roster, but there aren't many veterans who would be logical cap casualties. ESPN.com's Adam Teicher writes that the biggest savings would come from LB Tamba Hali, CB Brandon Flowers, and SS Eric Berry, but notes that those players are too productive to let go. WR Dwayne Bowe and CB Sean Smith would make more sense on the field, but financially are not options for release.

Kansas City Chiefs CB Sean Smith carries a cap number of $5.75 million into next season, and the team would save $1.25 million if he is released by Feb. 7. Otherwise, his $3.45 million salary becomes guaranteed.

Kansas City Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers said he believes the team can have one of the top defensive backfields in the NFL this season after the additions of CBs Sean Smith and Dunta Robinson. "We going out there trying to have the best secondary," Flowers said. "Sean Smith is a big corner that can bump and run ... we brought in Dunta Robinson, someone who can come in and cover, (and) also, [SS Eric Berry] is always roaming on the back end. If we put it all together, man, I think we have the pieces to be the best secondary in the NFL."
